Description
Aroma
The first breath entices you with a rich and inviting bouquet. Imagine swirls of dark chocolate mingling with creamy vanilla and a touch of honeyed sweetness. Hints of warming spice like cinnamon and nutmeg peek through, alongside a surprising zestiness – think candied orange peel and a whisper of green apple.
Taste
The initial sip delivers a burst of flavor that lives up to the promise of the aroma. Honeyed sweetness mingles with those warming spices, creating a sensation akin to biting into a luxurious Christmas cake. Floral notes emerge, adding a touch of elegance, while a wave of citrus zest provides a refreshing counterpoint. But it’s the signature coastal character of Old Pulteney that truly shines – a subtle salinity that lingers on the tongue, a reminder of the whisky’s maturation by the sea.
Finish
The warmth from the 46% ABV alcohol content spreads gently through your chest. The flavors don’t fade abruptly; instead, they linger on the palate in a delightful dance. Hints of chocolate and spice remain, interwoven with the coastal salinity. It’s a long and satisfying finish that leaves you wanting another sip to experience it all again.
